Comments on: U.N.: 3,709 Iraqis Killed In October

Highest Monthly Civilian Toll Since War Started; Bush, Al-Maliki To Meet Next Week

We are breading a new generation of terrorists who will surely want revenge for what we've done to their country and they're people. Every innocent Iraqi that dies creates ten insurgents. These insurgents are getting hands-training in urban warfare and terrist methods. What we've actually done is turn a country the size of California into one giant terrorist training camp.

They had nothing to do with 9/11. We invaded them for their oil and we have now killed more of them than even Sadam. This moron's war is already lost and bumper sticker slogans can't cover that up any more.

... How many deaths of Iraqi women and children equals to one American death?

Are you including insurgents wives, sister, mothers and grandmoms??

[angryliberal-2009]

Well at least the US is trying to kill the people that did this......

It would be nice if Iraq gave a **** about their people.

This is all the more reason for us to stay in Iraq, This proves that the terrorists are there.

I have a simple question to ask you neo-con "Christians" out there. I would sincerely like an answer. It is your assertion that this war is necessary so as to "Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here." Given your own paradigm and this obvious implication thereof... How many deaths of Iraqi women and children equals to one American death?

Where is the point to these talks????? They talk and it's the same old run around all over again! They have been telling us the same tales for the last year or two! They won't admit it's a full scale civil war! To admit that would be to admit it's there own fault it's happening! They were warned that was going to be the end result! And that warning came to pass. When are the American people going to get tired of this clown wasteing their hard earned tax dollars playing his ridiculous game of "Commander in Cheif"! That is what has been the biggest surprise to me! People aren't marching in the street's over the obscene costs of this needless war! The utter waste that has taken place in Iraq! And literally nothing has been accomplished!

If these fanatical right wingers say that Iraq is in a civil war then they have admitted defeat. To do that would mean that maybe just maybe God really did not send them but the went with someone else or something else. Take your pick either one is the wrong side to be on.

What about the insurgents? How many killed from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Egypt, Suadi Arabia and other Arab States??
How many insurgents are unidentified, in jail or sent back to their country.??

[radiob-2009]

itchyb There is no confusion, there is a state of denial to pardon the pun about Iraq.This is still considered small scale civil war that could very well develop into a full blown civil war.

The Bush regime is a criminal act in progress. Bush and Cheney and other co-spirators sought objectives in Iraq which had nothing whatever to do with national security or al Qaeda. Bush, Cheney, et al continuously lied to the American people in congress assembled, and to this day continue to lie about the reasons and justification for the American presence in Iraq.

The ten secret, multibillion-dollar military bases Halliburton builds are intended to provide American control of Iraqi oil for decades to come, and a power projection base for further American military intervention in the region. The billion-dollar American embassy bunker in the heart of Baghdad has essentially the same purpose.

The brazen criminal act of Bush and his co-conspirators goes down in history as the worst and most costly political scandal in American history, a black mark of shame on all who supported and endorsed Bush and his party. We who witness the suffering of American soldiers, their families and Iraqi civilians must do all in our power to end this criminal administration. Lies created Iraq, but more lies will not prevent disaster of major proportions.

I am always baffled, given the situation and numbers of civilian deaths, how this administration and it's supporters keep warning us that Iraq could deteriorate into a "civil war". What is it, exactly, that they're in right now. Confused in WV.
